PRSPCT-L Usage Guidelines and Etiquette

List Membership

PRSPCT-L is a discussion group and mailing list of subscribers who work in non-profit fundraising, specifically those engaged in prospect research, data mining and analytics and relationship management. Members may include practitioners who work directly in these capacities for a non-profit organization, who are self-employed independent and freelance researchers, or who are employed as fundraisers, consultants and vendors within the industry. This robust membership represents diverse perspectives and can provide opportunities for sharing opinions, views and expert advice. Be open-minded and considerate of the viewpoints expressed by all members, even if these views differ from your own. All subscribers are encouraged to participate in the conversations.

We are in the process of migrating PRSPCT-L to a new platform. Stay tuned for a revamped platform

If you're not familiar with PRSPCT-L or the changes that will occur in the platform in February, here are some common FAQ's below.

What is the purpose of PRSPCT-L?

PRSPCT-L is a platform designed for prospect development professionals to utilize for best-practice and idea sharing. This dedicated platform contains eight different topic groups, ranging from Campaigns to Data Analytics to Tool and Resources and Job Postings. Apra hopes that PRSPCT-L is seen and used as an industry-wide resource. Questions? Contact info@aprahome.org.

Why the change?

PRSPCT-L is a valued resource, and Apra hopes to make it even more valuable to you. With the help a taskforce made up of long-time PRSPCT-L members, Apra surveyed members and subscribers regarding their PRSPCT-L use, analyzed the data that was received, assessed multiple options and ultimately designed a plan to revamp PRSPCT-L.

So, what exactly will change (and what won't)?

There will be zero loss of functionality with the transition to the new platform

Ease of use will remain the same or be better on the new platform than it was on the old platform

We are working to copy all archived posts from the old platform to the new platform
